Resolution (beam engine)
Resolution was an early beam engine, installed between 1781–1782 at Coalbrookdale as a water-returning engine to power the blast furnaces and ironworks there. It was one of the last water-returning engines to be constructed, before the rotative beam engine made this type of engine obsolete.
Water power in Coalbrookdale
Coalbrookdale was a cradle of the First Industrial Revolution and was the scene of Abraham Darby's first production of iron by a coke-fired blast furnace, rather than the previous and expensive charcoal. Coalbrookdale is a narrow steep-sided valley that offered useful water power to drive the furnace blast and the various stamp mills, boring engines, etc. Contemporary visitors commented upon the picturesque 'fine cascades' of water. Although the water power available at Coalbrookdale had been described as 'abundant', it was also seasonal: in the summer months, the lack of water could require the furnace to be 'blown out' for some months and work suspended.
Resolution (mass spectrometry)
In mass spectrometry, resolution measures of the ability to distinguish two peaks of slightly different mass-to-charge ratios ΔM, in a mass spectrum.
Resolution and resolving power
There are two different definitions of resolution and resolving power in mass spectrometry.
IUPAC definition
The IUPAC definition for resolution in mass spectrometry is
Where a larger resolution indicates a better separation of peaks. This definition is used in a number of mass spectrometry texts. This use is also implied by the term "high-resolution mass spectrometry."
A high value for resolution corresponding to good separation of peaks is similar to the convention used with chromatography separations, although it is important to note that the definitions are not the same. High resolution indicating better peak separation is also used in ion mobility spectrometry
Resolving power definition
Some mass spectrometrists use the definition that is similar to definitions used in some other fields of physics and chemistry. In this case, resolving power is defined as:
Angular resolution
Angular resolution or spatial resolution describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.
Definition of terms
Resolving power is the ability of an imaging device to separate (i.e., to see as distinct) points of an object that are located at a small angular distance or it is the power of an optical instrument to separate far away objects, that are close together, into individual images. The term resolution or minimum resolvable distance is the minimum distance between distinguishable objects in an image, although the term is loosely used by many users of microscopes and telescopes to describe resolving power. In scientific analysis, in general, the term "resolution" is used to describe the precision with which any instrument measures and records (in an image or spectrum) any variable in the specimen or sample under study.

Bala (actor)
Bala is an Indian film actor who has appeared in Malayalam and Tamil films. He made his debut in the Tamil film Anbu (2003), before finding success as an actor in Malayalam films.
Career
Bala was born into a family closely associated with the film industry, with his grandfather being the owner of the Arunachala Studios. His father, Jeyakumar, directed over 350 films and documentaries, while his brother Siva has worked as a director and cinematographer in films.
The actor made a comeback to Tamil films in 2014 after appearing as one of Ajith Kumar's four brothers in Veeram. In order to get the on screen chemistry sorted, Bala was closely associated with Ajith throughout the film's shoot and was full of praise for him after release. The film, directed by Bala's brother Siva, opened to critical and commercial success.
Bala made his directorial debut through the 2012 Malayalam action film, The Hit List, in which he also played the lead role.
Personal life
Bala is married to Amrutha Suresh,Idea Star Singer fame on 27 August 2010 in Eranakulam, Kerala. They have a daughter, Avantika, who was born on 20 November 2012.
